With this being the last issue of 2018 we knew we had to go big to bring the year to a close with a bang and it doesn’t get much bigger than our absolute beast of a cover car, Tommy Munro’s 1000hp, 214mph F10 M5. Not only is this incredible record-breaking machine a UK build it’s also one of the fastest BMWs we’ve ever featured and one of the fastest BMWs in the world today, and just an awesome car.

It’s joined by a selection of equally awesome modded BMs including a turbo M20-swapped 2002, supercharged S62 V8-swapped E38 7 Series, a wild 657hp 2JZ-powered E46 M3 drift beast and loads more. We’ve also put together a Best of 2018 feature, showcasing this year’s most powerful feature cars as well as some of the most impressive engine bays and awesome wheels that have graced these pages over the past 12 months.
